Any Given Sunday

You’ve gotta love lazy weekends. Yesterday, Krystle and I woke up fairly early (for a Saturday) so we could walk the pooch and head out to the Leesburg farmer’s market. There really wasn’t that many stalls set up, but we found some great stuff to buy nonetheless. I bought a home-made blueberry muffin with what looked like grains of rice on top of it – but turned out to just be vertically-sliced sugar cube. Pretty damn good. We also picked up a loaf of ciabatta bread with a vegetable dip sidekick, a couple large cookies, and a carton of strawberries. I think we’re going to hit up a bunch of other markets as the summer wears on to see what else we can snag.
After being lazy mofos for a couple hours after that, we packed up a metric ton of presents into the Civ and drove out to the in-law’s house for Jaime’s birthday / Evan’s birthday / late Mother’s Day shin-dig. As usual, Krystle’s parents prepared some excellent food to consume: hot-off-the-grill hamburgers, hard-boiled egg filled potato salad, New England hot dogs, and about fifty desserts. Again, as usual, I ate way too much and have been regretting it since. Everyone seemed to like their gifts, however we got Sherry the Professor Layton & the Curious Village DS game and proceeded to ‘test’ it for her for about two hours. Good times.
Pretty much the best part of yesterday was when I hooked up my 360 to the big TV in our bedroom and we played Scene It: Box Office Smash for many hours. We played a bunch of random people on-line and always managed to squeak out a victory. Goddamn, I love movie trivia. As the night wore on, I showed Krystle that I was a handful of achievements away from a full 1250 gs on that game and she got really into helping me try and nail down the last ones. Yep, I think I definitely married the right woman.
Today will be like pretty much every other Sunday. We’re going to walk Connor in a few and then head out to meet the usual gang for some bowling. Might join a league this summer, but I’m still not convinced I’m good enough. When we get back, I’m going to update the review template for this site and add a rating to all my reviews, so people can just skim the gist of a review instead of slogging through the whole thing if they don’t want to. I’m also nailing down a few ideas for some technical posts – thinking of writing a Wordpress plug-in and then dissecting its inception, design, and implementation in a series of posts. Haha, EXCITING.
